S ANTA MONICA, CALIF.-
Local, naturalists are all
afog over the discovery
that the California condor is
coming back in numbers to his
former haunts just up country
from here. In fact, they are
going out of one violent gog
right into another. Because the
condor, the mightiest winged
creature in all North America,
was supposed to be practically
extinct, along with such van
ished species of native wild life
as the great auk, the passenger
pigeon and the lightning rod
agent.
So now we have set up a new
mark for envious Florida to shoot
at. For while they
may have croupiers
at Bradley’s in
Palm Beach, with
eyes as keen and
bleak as the con
dor’s are, and real-
estate dealers in
Miami as greedy as
he is, our frustrated
rivals will be put to
it to dig up a bird
with a wing spread
of from nine to elev
en feet.

Communism’s Gallant Foe.
H ARDLY a day passes but we
read in the paper of an ac
count of individual heroism, of sac
rifice, of devotion to duty—some
thing which renews our faith in hu
man beings and makes us realize
that scattered through the world are
splendid souls of whom we never
heard before and probably shall
never hear again. When the emer
gency came he rose to it—and that’s
enough.
But because, in the last few
months, we’ve learned to expect it
of him, I’m thinking many of us
fail to appreciate a recurrent act of
gallant service by one venerable,
enfeebled man whose name is fa
miliar to all Christendom. From
time to time, triumphing by sheer
will power, by sheer singleness of
purpose above his own sufTering,
Pope Pius XI, speaking from what
soon must be his deathbed, sends
forth a clarion call for a united
front against the growing menace
of aommumsm.

Waning Merchant Marines.
A FTER we’ve spent billions in
^ government subsidies trying to
build up a proper merchant fleet
of our own, it’s Just a trifle discon
certing to read that, among the six
nations leading in maritime ship
ping, the United States still ranks
third in gross tonnage, fifth in ships
having a speed of twelve knots or
better, and last in ships built within
the last ten years.
But, although Los Angeles is a
great port, we have no time right
now to pester about a comparatively
trivial thing such as the threatened
vanishment of the American flag
from the seven seas—not while
we re still so uncertain aboat who
will have the leading parts in “Gone
With the Wind.” To date, nearly
every lady in the movie colony has
been suggested for Scarlett O'Hara
except Mae West and Jane Withers,
and as for Rhett Butler—well, it
may yet be necessary to cast that
role as a whole minstrel first part,
with an interlocutor and six end
men.

Italians in Spain.
I T MUST be slightly annoying to
those Italian soldiers who were
flung headlong upon Spain to fight
in a war in which they had no per
sonal interest, when, through mis
take, they are mown down in hun
dreds by their own troops, and then
the bewildered remnants find them
selves in the hands of the oppos
ing government forces, who have a
reputation for sometimes being a
trifle rough with prisoners whom
they capture.
Still, it must be a great com
fort to the confused captives—and
to the relatives of the fallen back
home as well—to have assurance
from Mussolini that they are win
ning the way for fascist doctrines.
Until they heard that cheering mes
sage, those battered survivors prob
ably thought that, they had been
licked.

The Height of Gall.
A S J. CAESAR remarked at the
time, all Gaul was once divid
ed in three parts, but it is obvious
that subsequently there was a com
plete re-consolidation.
When France, already in default
to us on one little four-billion debt,
starts scheming to peddle her new
est issue of government securities
over here, that must indeed be re
garded as the height of gallishness
or Gaulishness—spell it either way,
reader, it’ll come out the same.
Moreover, to evade the Johnson act,
she would have American investors
send the money to Paris and buy
these French bonds there. This sort
of smacks of inviting Br’r Rabbii

instead of hunting him down with

Effect of Wagner Act Validation on National Labor Policy
v and Supreme Court Controversy—President
Orders Curtailment of Expenditures. ____
By EDWARD
• WMUra N«
W. PICKARD
Uakw.
Sec. Perkins
t^ALIDATTON of the Wagner act
* brought tho administration up
against the necessity of form bating
a new national labor policy to pre
vent atrikea and to
determine what
course shall be fol
lowed when collec
tive bargaining is
unsuccessful. For
this purpose Secre
tary of Labor Per
kins invited 33 lead
ers of industry and
labor to attend pri
vate meetings in
Washington, stating
they would be asked
to discuss the need
of new safeguards for industry to
balance the gains achieved by la
bor under the Wagner act. Among
those Madame Perkins invited were
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor;
John L. Lewis, chairman of the
Committee for Industrial Organiza
tion; Myron C. Taylor, board chair
man of United States Steel corpora
tion; Gerard Swope, board chair
man of General Electric corpora
tion; Harper Sibley, president of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce, and government officials.
Certain of the President’s advis
ers have told him a law requiring
the incorporation of labor unions
should be passed; or that at least
there should be a law similar to the
British trades union act which pro
vides that all union funds must be
accounted for to the government
and that unions cannot participate
in aympathy or general strikes.
Organized labor always has op
posed any such legislation and prob
ably would continue to fight against
it
John L. Lewis thinks one result
of the Wagner act decisions may
be the abandonment of the sit-down
strike, though this, he says, depends
on the attitude taken by employers
in the operstion of the act. "Under
the court’s decision,” says Lewis,
**workers now have machinery for
adjudication of disputes and the
making of contracts with employers.
Everything depends on the attitude
of employers, who showed no dis-
disposition to be generous although
the right of labor to gather together
for its protection had been conceded
for a lifetime.”
LJ OW does the upholding of the
* * Wagner labor relations act af
fect the battle over the President’s
plan to enlarge the Supreme court?
That question arose at once on an
nouncement of the decisions and re
ceived various answers. Opponents
of the President’s bill declared the
necessity for such a measure, if it
ever existed, wss entirely removed
by this showing of liberal tendencies
by a majority of the court; and
many supporters of Mr. Roosevelt
admitted that some compromise
such as the appointment of two new
justices instead of six, might be
advisable. But the President him
self let it be known that he wished
his program pushed through without
modification. The favorable ma
jority of one, created by the shift
af Justice Roberts, did not seem to
him safe enough.
This position of the President was
taken also by some of his cabinet
members. Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace declared that agriculture
could expect nothing from the Su
preme court as now constituted, and
urged American farmers to give the
Roosevelt plan their earnest sup
port.
Attorney General Cummings de
clared that the four justices who dis
sented from the court’s decision
that the Wagner act is constitution
al still constitute a "battalion of
death” and will continue to oppose
all major New Deal social legisla
tion.
John L. Lewis, head of the C. I.
O., asserted the Supreme court had
demonstrated its “instability” anew
and that the Wagner act decisions
only made more imperative the
need for enlarging the court.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis of
Illinois, whip of the senate, predict
ed that the President’s court plan
would emerge from the judiciary
committee “a much compromised,
amended and generally trans
formed measure.”
O HIEFS of executive depart-
^ ments, independent officers and
other spending units of the govern
ment were called on by President
Roosevelt to reduce expenditures up
to the end of the fiscal year June 30.
In his letter to them the President
said:
“It is apparent at this time that
the revenues of the government for
the present year will be materially
less than the amount estimated in
my budget message of last January;
and, hence, the deficit will be far
greater than was anticipated unless
there is an immediate curtailment
of expenditure.
“You will carefully examine the
status of appropriations for your ac
tivity with a view to making a sub
stantial saving by eliminating or de
ferring all expenditures which are
not absolutely necessary at this
time.
“You will report to me through
the acting director of the budget not
later then May 1, 1937, tha ateps
which you are undertaking to reduce
expenditures and the amount el the
estimated saving resulting there
from.”
COUTHERN congressmen found
they were no longer in the sad
dle when the house by a vote of
276 to 119 passed the anti-lynching
bill. The debate was furious and
the representatives from the South
were deeply resentful.
“For more than 100 years the peo
ple of the South have kept life in
the Democratic party,” declared
Representative E. E. Cox of
Georgia, "and now that that party
has grown powerful it turns upon
the South and proposes .to pass
this wicked and cowardly law. This
bill is directed just as much against
the South as any reconstruction bill
passed after the Civil war.”
The bill was sponsored by Repre
sentative Joseph Gavagan of New
York whose district includes the big
negro city of Harlem. It provides
that any state officer who surren
ders a prisoner to a mob shall be
guilty of a felony and subject to
prosecution and severe penalties. In
addition, the county in which a
lynching occurs shall be liable for
$2,000 to $10,000 damages, to be
paid to the family of the lynched
person.
Proponents of the measure were
greatly aided by a mob in Missis
sippi that took two negroes from a
sheriff and tortured and burned
them to death. The local authori
ties were supine and called the
shocking affair a "closed incident.”

mier of Ontario, reiterating
his determination not to permit
C. I. O. representatives from the
United States to take
part in negotiations

A. organizer, barred
by Hepburn, threat
ened that every Gen
eral Motors plant in America would
be closed unless the Oshawa strike
were settled soon with recognition
of the union demands. Homer Mar
tin, president of the U. A. W. A.,
called Hepburn a number of un
pleasant names. The Toronto Trades
and Labor Council pledged the sup
port of its 40,000 members to the
union’s strike against General Mo
tors.
Hepburn forced two of his min
isters to resign, charging they were
not supporting the government in
its fight “against the inroads of
the Lewis organization and commu
nism in general.” They are David
A. Croll, who held the labor, mu
nicipal affairs and public welfare
portfolios, and Attorney General Ar
thur W. Roebuck. Axel Hall, young
mayor of Oshawa, who has been
friendly to the strikers and critical
of Hepburn’s action, sent an “ulti
matum” to President Martin of the
Automobile Workers of America de
manding that members of the union
in the United States strike in sup
port of the Oshawa local. The lat
ter body adopted a resolution de
manding that Premier Hepburn
withdraw from the negotiations to
make way for intervention by the
dominion authorities.
In Montreal 5,508 women garment
workers, members of the C. I. O. in
ternational union, employed in 72
plants, started a strike for higher
wages; and in Fernie, B. C., 1,000
C. I. O. miners threatened to strike
for union recognition.

The State department in Washing
ton consented to a modification of
the ruling which bars American dip
lomats from wearing gala clothes
at state functions. The costume
decided upon is not full court dress

E'OR the second time in two years
1 the house passed the Pettingill
bill to repeal the “long and short

merce act. This law prohibits rail
ways from charging lower rates for

on the same route in the same di
rection, and it hampers the roads
greatly in their competition with
water and truck carriers for long
disianci traffic.

CreaUva Faith.
One of the greatest characters In
all human history comes before us
today in the person of Abraham.
He is venerated by Christian, Jew,
and Mohammedan alike. His per
sonal history is replete witl. inter
est and instruction. But his claim
to an outstanding place in history
is broader than any of these things,
for he was the one by whom God
called out a nation for himself and
began his dealings in sovereign
grace which continue to our day.
In choosing Abraham God began
the history of the Jewish people,
his chosen nation. They were called
by him to be not only a national
witness to the one true God, but
also to be the repository for his
truth (the Holy Scriptures) in the
earth, and, above all, to be the
channel for the .coming of the Re
deemer to the earth.
Our lesson, however, centers on
the faith of Abraham. As the Gold
en Text (Heb. 11:8) indicates, it was
by faith that Abraham responded
to the call of God. That call came
to him in his father’s house in Meso
potamia (Acts 7:2, 3). His partial
obedience brought delay at Haran
(Gen. 11:31), and wasted years, but
in Genesis 12 we find his complete
obedience and resultant blessing.
The study of faith is always fas
cinating. Faith is the thing in man
that pleases God. He is quick to
honor our trust in Him. Unbelief
shuts the door not only to blessing,
but also to usefulness.
I. Faith Calls for Separation, Obe
dience, and Worship.
1. Separation (Gen. 12:1). “Get
thee out” was God’s command to
Abraham. It is his command to hia
followers today. “Come out from
among them and be ye separate,
aaith the Lord” (II Cor. 6:17). This
is the crying need of the church in
our day. Instead of the church’s
being in thfe world seeking to win
it for Christ, the world has come
into the church and destroyed much
of its vital testimony.
2. Obedience (Gen. 12:4,5). "So
Abram departed, as the Lord had
spoken.” Faith obeys God, without
question, without hesitation, and
without reservation. We need a re
vival of obedience in the home, in
society, and in our relation to God.
3. Worship (Gen. 12:7, 13-18).
“There builded he an altar unto
the Lord.” Faith in God is far
more than the psychologist's
preachment of self-confidence. It
results In fellowship with God, re
liance upon him, not on one’s own
strength of personality. Faith wor
ships God.
II. Faith Results in Blessing, Pro
tection, and Liberty.
1. Blessing (12:2,3). “I will bless,'*
said God. “The Lord’s commands
are rarely accompanied with rea
sons, but they are always accom
panied with promises, either ex
pressed or understood."
In the case of Abraham the prom
ise was not only to him, and to the
nation of which he was the father,
but to “all families of the earth.”
That promise was fulfilled in the
coming of Christ to earth to be our
Redeemer (Matt. 1:1).
2. Protection (12:3). “I will . . .
curse him that curseth thee.” That
promise to the seed of Abraham
is still true. The nations have
forgotten it in their hatred of the
Jew, but God has not forgotten. The
promise is equally true in the case
of those who follow Christ, “the
son of Abraham.” His protecting
hand is over us even in the dark
hour when it looks as though the
hosts of Satan had conquered.
3. Liberty (13:14-17). “All the
land. . . will I give.” After many
and varied experiences in which Ab
raham proves God’s grace and pow
er, he comes out into a place of
unlimited liberty.
The man who boasts of his “per
sonal liberty,” who feels that he is
free from the “bondage of religion,”
is in fact a slave to the enemy of
his soul. And the man who becomes
“the bondslave of Jesus Christ,” he
alone is free. None is more fet
tered thrn he who shouts “I am
the captain of my fate. I am the
master of my soul.” And none is
so free as he who can say, “Christ
is the Captain of my fate, the
Master of my soul.”
Deciding What Not to Do
Men must decide on what they
will not do, and then they are able
to act with vigor in what they ought
to do.—Mencius.
God'a Way
God can act where we cannot
even think, out of resources that w«
know nothing about.
Strength of Character
He who is firm and resolute in
will moulds tho world to himself.
